django-formfieldset is a Django application that allows you define and render your forms with fieldsets. Just like in admin. To enable fieldset rendering you need to add FieldsetMixin as a parent class to your form and define a fieldsets attribute:

from django import forms
from formfieldset.forms import FieldsetMixin


class MyForm(forms.Form, FieldsetMixin):
    # Fields etc...

    fieldsets = ((u'Fieldset Title',
                  {'fields': ('foo', 'bar', 'baz'),
                   'description': u'This is the description for fieldset.'}),
                 (None,
                  {'fields': ('some_field',),
                   'description': u'This fieldset has no title.'}),
                 (u'Fieldset With No Description',
                  {'fields': ('some_other_field',)}))

Then you can render your form with fieldset enabled methods:

<form method="POST" action=""><table>{{ form.as_fieldset_table }}</table></form>

It is far from complete¹, but feel free to download and play with it.
